What the F*** does that have to do with the price of eggs in china, heh?
Just maybe if you could follow a thread, you would see that that Alex Viro
has pointed out that changes in the FS layer as dorked things.

Since there have been not kernel changes to the driver that effect the
code since 2.4.0-test5 or test6 and it now randomly shows up after five or
six revisions out from the change, and the changes were chipset only.

Please make your point.
